Focus on each other

Focus on each other

A Poem by Jon Roggie

Many have been able to watch the show from a distance.
For some reason,
we can't help tearing ourselves apart.
Give us a unifying cause,
and we might come together.
So many causes,
each pushed by groups unwilling to listen.
Few hours left,
and I would like to say something.
Look at what all of this has done.
Distracted from the true problems.
Just watching the sideshow.
We should have been seeing.

I only wish the government could match the beauty available in this country.
Too true my friend. Never seen so many people sick of an election before the result is announced.

It has only led to another show.
Too often we lose sight of what's really important... Good one Jon. :)

The sad part is they lost sight so long ago.
and it has been a very bad and boring sideshow...

unfortunately...."where have all the flowers gone?"
